It is not my goal to use this spreadsheet to pick favorites. Rather, I'm trying to use this spreadsheet to point out differences among the different approaches.

I know very little about DieselWeb, MultiTask, FriendlyFlow, Weightless, Fibra, and Cogen. All I know is that Nicholas Piël's pointed them out as generator-based libraries.

Some of these libraries support multiple approaches at the same time. For instance, Twisted lets you use a mix of callbacks, generators, and threads. Similarly, Tornado lets you use a mix of callbacks and threads. However, it's important to point out the compromises involved. For instance, if you're using Tornado, you can't have 5000 concurrent clients to a WSGI server; instead you have to switch over to the asynchronous callback API.

When I say things like "Can handle 5000 clients?", I don't mean that each of those requests is actively being served. There's only so much CPU to go around! Rather, I mean you can have 5000 clients that are each in various stages of completion, and the server as a whole is mostly waiting on IO.
